Summary
Hello, could you volunteer your time and be a friend to a child in care?Detailed description
Hello,
Can you volunteer some of your time to spend with me every two-three weeks, usually at the weekends?
I am 8 nearly 9 years old and live on the outskirts of Norwich.
I like to do fun things and absolutely love going to the park. As well as going for a hot chocolate and especially a slice of cake. I enjoy going swimming, going to the cinema/theatre and arts and crafts such as pottery painting. I also like going to theme parks and going on the adventurous rides. I really like trying new activities and experiences.
About you: I would like to spend time with someone who is female, who also loves receiving hugs and holding hands when we go out. Someone who would commit to seeing me every two-three weeks. Someone who is fun, kind, caring and nurturing and who will join in doing fun things together. Someone who will encourage me, if I feel unsure about doing something that I have never done before.
If you could be a friend to me, please get in touch.
*Please note due to the nature of this volunteering role, we ask for a minimum two-year commitment.
